And while people think he said that just to get more supporters or something, well if donald trump did so, why didn't he say the same thing during his presidential campaign? I say that because by the time a person becomes president, they will care less about his/her supporters than before and election because he/she already won. but when a presidential campaign is going on, candidates will do and/or say anything to be president when they have the opportunity to do so. But does donald trump have that opportunity yet? No because he's already president, and he dencounced white supremacists a while before the midterm elections were really waiting.
